Tender, juicy pears baked under a thick, crunchy, golden topping. A comforting sweet delight, ideal with vanilla ice cream.
# What You'll Need:
→ Pear Filling
01 - 6 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and sliced
02 - 2 tbsp lemon juice
03 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
05 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
06 - 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
→ Crumble Topping
07 - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1/2 cup rolled oats
09 - 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
10 - 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
11 - 1/4 tsp salt
12 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced pears with lemon juice, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and flour. Spread evenly in a greased 9-inch baking dish.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping. Add the cold, cubed butter and rub with fingertips or use a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger chunks.
04 - Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the pears, pressing down gently to create a thick, crunchy layer.
05 - Bake for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and pears are bubbling.
06 - Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
